A couple of days ago, someone posted a link to the site Palin As President. I can't remember who it was, so I apologise profusely.

But the website is hilarious!

Hours of fun.

Edit: following McCain's defeat, the site has changed somewhat; but the original site is still available via a link at the bottom of the page!

From today's Observer (unfortunately it isn't on their website... p25 of the news section) [Edit: [livejournal.com profile] abrinsky points out they have now posted it on the website: and the URL-tag uses the phrase "political correctness"... ;) ]:

Christmas Is Axed In Oxford


Council leaders in Oxford have decided to ban the word Christmas from this year's festive celebrations to make them more "inclusive". But the decision to rename the series of events the "Winter Light Festival" have been cticised by religious leaders and locals said it was "ludicrous".

Sabir Hussain Mirza, chairman of the Muslim Council of Oxford, said: "This is the one occasion which everyone looks forward to in the year... I'm angry and very, very disappointed. CHristmas is special and we shouldn't ignore it... Christmas is part of being British."

Rabbi Eli Bracknell said: "It's important to maintain a traditional British Christmas..."


What amused me most is that the Observer didn't print any comments from any Christian spokespeople!
